a moment, lost
overcome by fear and doubt
in paralysis
the moment slipped away

i've washed my clothes
many times over, again
you'd think they would be clean
by now...

with the same resonance by which
Lazarus rose
(the power which commands attention)
a flower turns to face the sun
the world is transformed, brought to Perfection

by that vibrant resonance
are hearts joined
in the Sacrament of Love

To tell men that they are equal has a certain sentimental appeal.
But this appeal is small compared with that made by a propaganda
that tells them they are superior to others, and that others
are inferior to them.

Karl Popper

I dreamed of First Man
a small figure amidst the Forest dense
he sung out and the trees and leaves
reverberated with his song
swirling he vanished
from the vortex of my vision
yet his words were strong...

do not relinquish your personal power
the only way to preserve it
is to act upon it

A state of fear only engenders cruelty:
cruelty, fear, insanity and paralysis.
In the center of Dante's circle
the damned remained motionless.
If we do not become angry
if we do not muster within us
the courage to challenge
the Democratic and Republican parties
who herd us toward the corporate state,
we will have squandered our courage and integrity
when we need it most.

Chris Hedges

Acceptance of the Unknown
is fundamental
if you can't deal with ambiguity
inconsistency and irrationality
you severe yourself from humanity
mystery is the essence of human existence

anything less wreaks of fascism
automatons to blind obedience
cultism

he hides in darken corners
he darkens all that he inhabits
from his place of obscurity
he wreaks havoc upon the world
some call him the anti-christ
but more commonly known
as VP dick cheney

"we have to work the dark side...we're going to spend time in the shadows" dick cheney

the venerable doctor lost her
"Ego-I am brain", the left hemisphere
to a stroke (of good luck)
her brain-chatter, the ceaseless self-conversation
was silenced...

ensuing ... Peace

sidestep...step to the right
of your left hemisphere
step-into the circuitry of your Right brain
one of deep inner peace

Dr. Jill Taylor

"A Superhighway to Bliss"

Holy moments far and few between
must not, in denial, linger unseen
should we be so favored
blessed
it is our duty to honor Spirit manifest
should we turn our backs
we seal our fate in linear time

the inevitable end, of which, is Death

how slowly they sway
trees in the wind
dancing to nature's silent rhythm

The true value of the human being

is determined primarily by the measure
and sense in which he has attained
liberation from the self.

Albert Einstein
